About
Based in Santa Cruz, California.
Firstly, LOVE IS LOVE!!! All Love is welcome with me!
My goal is to create an experience not just beautiful images. I not only provide you an exceptional service but also a meaningful relationship where my clients really feel the passion I have for this business in everything I do for and with them. If you need location suggestions—I’m your girl. If you need styling advice—I’m your girl. If you need timeline help—I’m your girl. If you need a pep talk—I’m your girl. I want my clients to feel comfortable enough to ask for advice and lean on me and my expertise. Weddings can be stressful, it is my hope that through your connection with me if you feel any stress around your wedding I can help alleviate some of it and have a rad time while we do!
I never saw being a wedding photographer in Santa Cruz in my future. I was supposed to be working in LA on big movie sets… But life has a funny way of giving you exactly what you never asked for and making it even better than you could ever dream of. So here I am—your super chill and really fucking fun wedding photographer. (Did I also mention humble?! lol)
Experience
I graduated with a degree in Film/Television Production from San Francisco State, shout out Gators. I began working 15 hour days as a camera assistant in LA and they were amazing. But I became a mom, my favorite job to date. And those long days away from my babies weren’t gonna cut it. So as one does when they are faced with a crossroads, I pivoted. Hello. photography career.
Services Offered
Before your big day arrives, you and your partner can take part in a romantic engagement in a location of your choice. This session allows me to experiment with a range of styles to best portray your dynamic as a couple. I bring my mama side, where I pick ticks off your shirt or bandaid up your boo boos, along with my 16-year-old boy sense of humor to my sessions. I promise you may pee your pants, but only a little! I love to capture the purest everyday magic between people, the love and laughter and happiness that comes from our connections to one another, that’s where the beauty lies.

Kassandra was the greatest--BOOK HER!!
From the moment we met her, we knew we were in capable hands. Her insightfulness about the area not only put us at ease but also added an extra layer of creativity to our special day. We flew in from Chicago, and after having our original plans fold due to weather emergencies, I really don't think we would have landed on our feet with anyone else!
She made the entire experience memorable. With so few people involved in our special day, I'm relieved Kassandra was one of them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to entrust with capturing our memories. She understood our vision perfectly and went above and beyond to make it a reality.
Thanks to her skill and dedication, we now have a stunning collection of photographs that beautifully encapsulate the emotions and essence of our elopement. Each image is a treasure, a testament to her talent and the magic she brought to our day-- BOOK HER!

The best experience!
She also has the perfect balance of being professional while also feeling like your friend and having fun alongside you. She was great at blending in with the crowd -- most of the time we didn't realize someone was there taking photos! She also made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave us posing tips to help capture those perfect shots that look natural.
She sent us sneak peek photos recently, and we absolutely love them! The lighting and editing is amazing, and we love how she captured the whimsical details of our wedding. We're now even more excited to see the rest!
